Monday...

I packed for my trip to Cairns today. Wherefore art thou Cairns? See map – it’s at the pointy end of Australia – two and a bit hours from Brizzie - past the Tropic of Capricorn and hang a left at the Great Barrier Reef. I plan to be snorkeling there soon scaring the fish. I am ignoring everyone who tells me I will get eaten by sharks and attacked by stingers…oh please…like they would be stupid enough to take me on. Bite me and I’ll bite back. So, I’m packed and pretty damned excited to be heading to Cairns…and you know what? As I packed I discovered I have a lot of purple and black clothes. Yep, I’m your basic half arsed suburban Goth.

I was watching this clip of Ellen DeGeneres and her Tulane speech on You Tube. Ellen always makes me laugh. I also admire her greatly - click here – but then I admire anyone who keeps forging ahead regardless what obstacles may be in their way.

I will leave you with these puzzling questions…I bought some of Cover Girl Simply Ageless foundation – you know the one Ellen flogs – I love her she’s makes me laugh so hard – anyway, there was a seal on the compact and a sticker that said ‘security device enclosed.’ Hmmm…I have to ask…why? Is there something that has changed with foundation and made it a security risk? Please explain…and man, getting the lid off…oh hard but they have instructions. See here - http://www.covergirl.com/products/collections/simplyageless/. Okay – if you have to have instructions for something that should be easy – why make it so hard to start off with? Ah, the imponderables of life…
